25 fun and crafty projects

You know, it's been so long that I can't even remember how I first met Pip. A stitchy night? A morning tea? I know our blogs were involved, way back when there were only a few craft bloggers around like Loobylu and Angry Chicken.

But I can definitely say that it's been an honour to be a part of Pip's new book, Meet Me at Mikes. I received my copy in the mail the other day and I was very impressed with how it was all pulled together. So many fantastic crafty projects and awesome photography to do them justice. Here's a few pics, including the 'Fabric Clock' project that I contributed:

I am taking some minor credit for this - the fabric clock was my first anniversary present to my lovely wife (and Lara made it from paper as paper & clocks are the modern and traditional first anniversary gifts!).

Lara supplied all the talent and I supplied...well not much really. Just the original urge to impress my lovely wife! Pity I failed so miserably to follow up with originality on the second anniversary....a young baby can sap the romance out of your life pretty quickly (and temporarily of course!).
